NC STATE APICULTURE PROGRAM

Dedicated to the dissemination of information and understanding of honey bees and bee management

The research focus of the NCSU Apiculture program is to further our understanding
of honey bee biology and to better our ability of bee management. To accomplish
these goals, we are involved in various experiments that range from highly
technical and theoretical to very applied and useful for the average beekeeper.
Our program serves the needs of the university and general public by providing
extension services and instruction built on a foundation of basic and applied
research.

Our exciting new online system for training beekeepers at all levels. The
entire BEES system is based on the Moodle instruction platform, so all video
lectures, content, and quizzes can be taken directly online!Read more >>

We offer an assortment of molecular tests to measure queen and colony health.
This affords you to make rapid management decisions based on empirical
results, taking some avoidable guesswork out of beekeeping.Read more >>

'An Introduction to the Honey Bee and Beekeeping' is one
of the most popular Entomology undergraduate courses aimed at non-science
majors to explore the fascinating world of insects and biology using honey
bees as a vehicle. Seats still available!Read more >>
